D A G A
So I tucked my hair up under my hat, and I went in to ask him why
Bm Bm/A Em
He said “You look like a fine, upstanding young man,
G6/A
I think you’ll do”
D A
So I took off my hat and said “Imagine that!
G A
Heh, me workin’ for you!”
D C G

D G
Blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind
D A C/G D (+)
Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?
C G
And the sign said anybody caught trespassin’
D G
would be shot out of sight
D A
So I jumped on the fence and I yelled at the house
G A
“Hey, what gives you the right?
You put up a fence to keep me out but to keep Mother Nature in,
If God was here he’d tell you to your face,
“Man you’re some kind of sinner!”
Chorus:

I said “Thank you Lord for thinkin’ about me,
G A
I’m alive and doin’ fine!”
